State police seeking man in possible attempted child luring in Lebanon County

State police are searching for a man who they said approached a 6-year-old girl while she was riding her bike earlier Wednesday in Bethel Township.

The man was described as an older — perhaps 55 years or more — white man last seen driving an older model black crew cab-style truck or work van, according to state police. The victim was on Elizabeth Run Drive near Creek Drive at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday when the man drove up to her in and called out to her, police said.

According to a state police press release, the man asked the girl if she needed a ride, but the girl declined and continued biking to her home, where she arrived safely a short time later.

No additional information was available as of Wednesday night, but anyone who witnessed the incident or who can provide information to police regarding the man's identity or whereabouts is asked to contact state police at 717-865-2194.
